Adding Shimmer and Sparkle to everything!

photo-card-seasons-greetings-chocolate This year I designed and digitally stamped my Christmas Cards using My Digital Studio (MDS) software, I had so much fun I ended up creating a bunch of designs and had the hardest time narrowing it down to one (click here to view them >). Of course I could have printed 25 of each but I didn't want anyone to fight over them hehehe. In the end, I chose this one for the winner. I had them professionally printed through the software program, man was this super cool! 2010-12-shimmer-cardsTo make the card extra special, I added some "shimmer" and "sparkle" by using Stampin' Up Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint #116806 & some rubbing alcohol. I put about 4 or 5 drops of shimmer paint in a spray bottle with approximately 1oz of rubbing alcohol. I cut a peice of card stock the size of the picture on the front, and placed that over the picture before spraying, this way the glittery shimmer was not over the photo. I also sprayed the inside. The photos don't do the end result justice, in person this just made an fantastic card ... completely amazing!
